1 Kid Gets Private $183M/Year ‘Voucher’ But We Have To Deal With $143M Arts Program Cut

One Facebook page, The Ed Show, is keeping it real about First Son Barron Trump and First Lady Melania Trump staying in New York. We just found out that President Donald Trump’s budget proposal would be cutting major arts programs, but we are paying $1 million per day to keep Melania and Barron in New York City.

“Immediately after the election Trump transition spokesman Jason Miller explained that Melania would be staying in New York because there was ‘obviously a sensitivity to pulling out a 10-year-old in the middle of the school year.'”“We have since learned that the cost of security for Melania and Barron to remain at Trump Tower is $183 million/year. There is also no indication that they will actually move to DC this summer. So, in essence, the Federal government is giving the Trump family a $183 million annual voucher so Barron can attend the elite private prep school of his choice.”“Meanwhile, we learned last night that Trump’s budget would completely eliminate funding for the National Endowment for the Arts. The NEA, with an annual budget of only $148 million, is able to provide seed money for arts programming in literally every Congressional district in the country.”“So, on the one hand, you have a $183 million school voucher for a single 10-year-old at an elite private school. On the other hand, you have a program that impacts arts and cultural programming throughout the entire nation.”“NOT NORMAL. #Resist“

The Secret Service has rented a floor of Trump Tower to protect Melania and Barron.
